Equalizer to compensate for hearing loss - Any success stories?


65-year-old retired gent here has been wearing Oticon top-of-the-line hearing aids for three years now. My hearing loss is quite pronounced (see audiogram link herein).

Using my iPhone and AirPod pros with this audiogram from the (Health app) yields spectacular results. Now I’d like to see what can be achieved using an equalizer to mimic my audiogram and an amp driving floor standing speakers.

I am in the same boat as the OP.  I thought the tone controls on my Mac preamp would be enough but I was mistaken.  I purchased the 6 band Schiit EQ for I think $300.00. It has been a Godsend.  I was able to adjust it so that my system sounds the way it did before my hearing loss.  I am now enjoying the music once again.
